I don't know why you say that : I always take a rocket-launcher with me when I'm wearing speedos.

Haha, could be a giant scuba or underwater telescope

Hi, Do you take old photos from 1994? Not a telescope but a long binocular to combine actions and gestures underwater

BSX Records' label Dragon's Domain has been releasing several scores -on CD- from PENTATHLON composer David Spear such as EXTERMINATOR 2 and NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER 2.

When I asked them if the music from the 1994 sport thriller was in the works, they answered, "All good things come to those who wait….."

While the PENTATHLON score may not be the greatest, it was actually recorded orchestrally despite the very low budget of the film... The quiet piano/guitar themes sound like they are influenced by Erik Satie's work.
